How cute. I’ve never seen one in person. Are Woodchucks considered rodents? It sort of resembles a gopher.

Have you ever heard of a woodchuck attacking a house cat or small kitten for food for her litter?

R. – No, I haven’t. I’ve never heard of them eating anything but vegetation. However, I presume that they can be defensive when protecting their own young. They usually do not stray far from their burrow, so if you see one around your house, terrorizing your cats, their burrow is probably close by.

If the woodchuck is close by, you’ll probably want to get rid of him, as he could potentially hurt your pets if they get in a fight. If they have burrowed up against your house, they can do damage to the foundation, too (by excavating dirt at, near, under, or around the foundation).
